The most interesting information I learned related to Marriott International is related to the company's efforts to improve humanity throughout the U.S. and the world. Of course, all company's try to show humanitarian efforts to gain public attention and will provide financial resources to some worldly causes. Marriott in my opinion has gone above and beyond simply showing financial support for humanitarian efforts. Don't get me wrong here, the financial support is imperative to many causes, but providing human capital for relief efforts is equally important.

Volunteer Marriott employees have assisted with Habitat for Humanity in building thousands of homes in 15 different countries. The piece that really hits home with me though is the efforts of Marriott in Doha, Qatar. My family being heavily involved in international adoption efforts hold orphans very dear to our heart and seek ways to serve and help these children that seem to have little or no hope. Therefore the efforts of the Doha Marriott Hotel provide a high level of goodwill to me and my family. Employees at this Hotel have worked with orphans in Qatar to provide life experiences as well as needed items. They have hosted Orphans to learn how to cook with the Hotel's Chefs and even the housekeeping staff provide needed items to the children in the orphanage. Their goal - A Spirit to Serve - does not discriminate from even the least of these.
